Giant eagle

Giant eagles look like normal eagles grown to enormous size. They are on average 15 feet in height, with a wingspan of up to 30 feet, and weigh upwards of 500 pounds. In all other respects they resemble their small, mundane cousins. These creatures, however, possess a supernatural intelligence and see themselves as protectors of their mountainous homelands. They will attack those they see as threats to their environment, but occasionally become allies with those who share similar views.[1][2]

They understand the elemental language of air, Auran, but cannot speak it.[2]
